This is kind of cool. Someone used an AI to read one of my blogs and generate a comment that is actually somewhat appropriate (and flattering). I imagine it's an attempt to authenticate a spam account. But it's a nice change from the endless Russian spam comments I'm constantly deleting so I approved it. Has anyone else been seeing this on their posts?
Spammers using AI to generate blog comments
Not on my blogs, but I have had two comments where someone used AI to generate comments based on my profile information. Another member received the same kind of comment based on her profile and reported it to Peter who pointed out it was AI generated or we wouldn't have known. The comments came across as a bit sycophantic and creepy.

Please don't do that! Spammers monitor if their spam setups get shown, so they can submit more actual spam when the link-less stuff is successful, plus will resell lists of websites where spam manages to be successful, attracting even more spam.
Don't encourage these people. Some are genuinely creepy. It is like being stalked by a robot.
